04/06: We sense something very nasty coming out of the woodshed, and it could be a major name brand. #4 US bank Wachovia already missed.

MON: Tomorrow perhaps a bounce? with another WWW (WaMu) reporting? Got it.

All time high: Rice & Oil $114; transports up 1% on the news? Get ready for misses from #1 S&L, #1 chipster & three of the other top five banks:

JPMorgan, WaMu, Wells Fargo, Intel and Sillybank (Citigroup).

Often wrong, but never in doubt, this is the Nattering Naybob and you're not.
